Overview
Sprint Asynchronous Transfer Mode Service (ATM) can
provide you with the additional bandwidth you need to
take advantage of increased communication capabilities
where you need it, when you need it and
at a lower cost than traditional private line networks.
ATM is a standards-based, broadband technology that
enables you to build a single, "virtual" network that
can:
- Incorporate a variety of information - voice, data,
multimedia and video.
- Transmit information across a range of media - most
fiber optic, coaxial and copper wire systems.
- Integrate a range of legacy network technologies
- X.25, frame relay, Ethernet, token ring and tranmission
control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP).
- Deliver a dynamic allocation of bandwidth and adapt,
both in terms of cost and quality of service, to your
particular needs.
- Provide high-speed performance and exceptional survivability
with the Sprint Synchronous Optical Network (SONET).
Consider how this advanced communications technology
can change the way you work ... no matter what you do.

Business
Consolidate your voice, data, video and Internet applications
into one flexible network solution. With Sprint ATM
Service, customers can tour your facilities and conduct
meetings with your staff via desktop video without ever
leaving their offices. In addition, individual workers
can telecommute and remote project teams can collaborate
on multimedia applications in real time.

Education
Through audio and videoconferencing, students in remote
locations can take advantage of distance-learning opportunities.
Researchers in remote locations can share real-time
feed of experiments and data. Teachers can link classrooms
to remote events or activities.

Health Care
High-quality medical imaging can be quickly transmitted
from hospitals and clinics. Local doctors can conduct
video consultations with remote specialists.
The list goes on. But all of these situations share
the key characteristic of increased communication capabilities.
The capabilities enhance individual or organizational
performance but also require considerably more bandwidth
than is currently available on traditional networks.
